Silver nanoplates (SNPs) having different size were synthesized by a seed-mediated method. The seeds -silver nanoparticles with 4 – 6 nm diameters were synthesized first by reducing silver nitrate with sodium borohydride in the present of Trisodium Citrate and Hydrogen peroxide. Then these seeds were developed by continue reducing Ag\(^+\) ions with various amount of L-Ascorbic acid to form SNPs. Our analysis showed that the concentratrion of L-Ascorbic acid, a secondary reducing agent, played an important role to form SNPs. In addition, the size and in-plane dipole plasmon resonance wavelenght of silver nanoplates were increased when the concentration of added silver nitrate increased. The characterization of SNPs were studied by UV-Vis, FE-SEM, EDS and TEM methods.

Abstract Silver nanoparticles have antimicrobial properties since they can be regarded as an efficient protector against pathogenic microorganisms. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to examine conformational changes in the secondary structure of wheat gluten washed out from grain treated with an aqueous solution of silver nanoparticles stabilized by tri-sodium citrate. Silver nanoparticles were used as a protective layer on the grain surface against bacterial and fungal infections (antimicrobial agent). Analysis of the amide I band revealed significant changes in the secondary structure after using silver nanoparticles. An increase in the β-sheet content (from 36.2 to 39.2%) was observed at the expense of the α-helix and β-turn content. To find factors causing these changes, the wheat grains were treated by an aqueous solution of trisodium citrate and water. The results obtained indicate that the changes in the gluten structure were connected mainly with the trisodium citrate action due to presence of a small number of free molecules of the stabilizer in the solution of silver nanoparticles. Additionally, the conformational changes in gluten pointed out that gluten flexibility increased (decrease in the αH/βS ratio from 1.40 for the control sample to 1.26 for the silver nanoparticle-treated samples) as well as the solubility of gluten decreased (decrease in the β-turn content from 13.1 to 11.4%).

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) can be incorporated into medical devices, such as tissues, to circumvent bacterial resistance such as Klebsiella spp, which can lead to skin and mucosal infections. Thus, the aim of the present study was to synthesize silver nanoparticles for later incorporation into cotton fabrics and in vitro tests against Klebsiella spp. The AgNP colloidal solution was synthesized (AgNO3 - 0.1 mM, 100 mM trisodium citrate, polyvinylpyrrolidone - 0.24 g, H2OH2) and then impregnated into the cotton fabric pretreated with poly diallyl dimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) of 100/500 tissue, shaken for 30 minutes). The material produced was analyzed by the FTIR; DLS and reflectance spectroscopy. The tests of the antimicrobial activities were by the microdilution technique against Klebsiella spp, in tubes containing Brain Heart Infusion (BHI), with the solution of silver (1); Tissue containing AgNP - 4 mm (2); Negative control (3) and positive control - ceftriaxone (4). Regarding MIC, the inhibitory activity occurred of the dilutions between 1/2 and 1/16. The AgNP particles had an average size of 24.75 nm. As synthesized AgNPs demonstrate the excellent antimicrobial activity against Klebsiella spp, with special emphasis on applications in nanotechnology and nanomedicine, targeting multiresistant antibiotic bacteria.

The sensing of protein adsorption by silver nanoparticles/hydroxyapatite composites was investigated using a phosphate buffer solution containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) or lysozyme (LSZ). The adsorption of BSA and LSZ on the composites prepared without using trisodium citrate was similar to plain hydroxyapatite, whereas composites prepared with trisodium citrate showed lower BSA adsorption and higher LSZ adsorption than plain hydroxyapatite powder. Because the ability of the adsorption is mainly governed by surface charges of the powders, the usage of trisodium citrate during the preparation is assumed to produce high negative charges on the surface. The protein adsorption resulted in peak shifts in localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectra. The peak shifts clearly corresponded to the concentration of the surrounding proteins up to the point of saturation of adsorption on the hydroxyapatite. The silver nanoparticles/hydroxyapatite composites are promising candidate materials for detection of protein adsorption by measurement of LSPR peak shifts, that may be attributed to changes in the dielectric properties of the matrix fluid surrounding the silver nanoparticles.

Two xerogels made of 4-pyridyl cholesterol (PC) and silver-nanocomposites (SNCs) thereof have been studied for their efficient reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) in the presence of aqueous sodium borohydride. Since in-situ silver doping will be effective in ethanol and acetone solvents with a PC gelator, two silver-loaded PC xerogels were prepared and successive SNCs were achieved by using an environmentally benign trisodium citrate dehydrate reducing agent. The formed PC xerogels and their SNCs were comprehensively investigated using different physico-chemical techniques, such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powdered X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The FE-SEM results confirm that the shape of xerogel-covered silver nanoparticles (SNPs) are roughly spherical, with an average size in the range of 30–80 nm. Thermal degradation studies were analyzed via the sensitive graphical Broido’s method using a TGA technique. Both SNC-PC (SNC-PC-X1 and SNC-PC-X2) xerogels showed remarkable catalytic performances, with recyclable conversion efficiency of around 82% after the fourth consecutive run. The apparent rate constant (kapp) of SNC-PC-X1 and SNC-PC-X2 were found to be 6.120 × 10-3 sec-1 and 3.758 × 10-3 sec-1, respectively, at an ambient temperature.

In this study, the colorimetric performance of unmodified citrate-stabilized silver nanoparticles (cit-AgNP) for Cu2+ detection was investigated. Cit-AgNP was successfully synthesized using the modified Creighton method with sodium borohydride as reducing agent and trisodium citrate as stabilizing agent. The resulting nanoparticle was yellow in color, characteristic of AgNP. The absorbance peak was determined at 400 nm using UV Vis analysis while for morphology, the particles were spherical in shape with an average diameter of 11 nm determined by TEM analysis. In the presence of increasing Cu2+ concentration, the yellow cit-AgNP turned orange and showed decreasing absorbance at 400 nm with simultaneous emergence of additional peak at 450 nm. These changes were attributed to the nanoparticle aggregation confirmed by TEM analysis. A calibration curve generated showed that the absorbance ratio 450/400 nm is directly proportional to Cu2+ concentration from 0 to 40x10-4 M with good linear fit at R2 = 0.9749. The detection and quantification limits were determined to be 6.59x10-4 M and 21.97x10-4 M, respectively. Overall, the study demonstrated the potential of the assay for Cu2+ sensing application.

In this research work, a very simple, low cost eco-friendly method is presented for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles to be used in colorimetric optical sensors based on localized SPR (LSPR) measurement for gas ammonia. Silver nitrate salts are reduced using gaur gum which acts as a capping and reducing agent. Commonly used reducing agents such as trisodium citrate or sodium borohydride are replaced by a more environmental friendly natural polysaccharide. Nanocomposite films of ~ 1.5 μm thicknesses were fabricated using Gaur Gum and silver nanoparticles. The uniformity of nanoparticles size was measured by SEM and TEM, while face centred cubic structure of crystalline silver nanoparticles was characterized using the X-ray diffraction technique. The optical properties of the composite film were tested by UV-VIS Spectroscopy. The formation of Gaur Gum/silver nanocomposite films was confirmed using SEM images. Also the resistivity of nanocomposite thin film was measured which could be then used for gas sensing application.

Size-controlled silver nanoparticles are prepared at two different heating time duration (30 and 60min) under conventional heating at 80 ̊C in an aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) as a precursor and trisodium citrate (C6H5O7Na3.2H2O) as a reducing agent under continuous stirring. The size and size distribution of the resulting silver nanoparticles prepared under conventional heating are strongly dependent on the duration of heating. As the heating duration is increased, aggregation and grain growth is observed. When duration of heating was 60min a distinct increase in the particles size was observed that lead to shift in the plasmon band as confirmed by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. TEM images shows that silver nanoparticles are nearly spherical in shape and their sizes are ranging between 2-42 nm and their cubic structure was confirmed by X-ray diffractogram. From X-ray diffractogram we calculated crystallite size using Scherrer’s equation which comes out to about 36nm and that determined from Hall-Williamson plot turns out to be 19nm.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were extensively used in different fields worldwide. There is a continued increase in their productions to fulfill various uses. Biological and chemical AgNP syntheses were the most popular mechanisms in this field. Agrowastes are rich in proteins, phenolics, and flavonoids that could act as bioreductant agents in AgNP biological synthesis. The present study was aimed at synthesizing AgNPs via chemical and biological methods using trisodium citrate, pomegranate fruit peel, and coffee ground waste extracts. Moreover, silver nanoparticles were monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy and characterized using zeta potential, size distribution mean, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Four pathogenic bacterial strains (Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and MRSA) were used to assess the antimicrobial effect of the synthesized AgNPs (2, 4, and 8 mg/ml). Results report the successful formation of silver nanoparticles chemically (AgNPs_Chem) and biologically by using pomegranate peel extract (AgNPs_PPE) and coffee ground waste extract (AgNPs_CE) due to the change of color to dark brown that is confirmed by UV-vis sharp absorption spectra at specific wavelengths. Characterization using SEM and XRD revealed their crystalline shape with a mean size of AgNPs _ Chem = 62.75 , AgNPs _ CE = 273.7   nm , and AgNPs _ PPE = 591.9   nm . AgNPs_Chem show higher negativity of zeta potential (−46.7 mV) than AgNPs_CE (−12.6 mV), followed by AgNPs_PPE (−7.98 mV), which had the least stability. All the synthesized AgNPs show antimicrobial potential on all selected strains. However, 8 mg/ml shows the most effective concentration and has more efficiency on K. pneumoniae than others. Overall, the results highlight that the use of agrowastes could be an ecofriendly way to synthesize AgNPs biologically that have the same antimicrobial effect as the chemically synthesized AgNPs.

There is a continuous need for discovering new nanomaterials with antibacterial activity against various pathogens, like Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). This study was performed to assess the antimicrobial activity of two novel nanostructured forsterites, both in the absence and the presence of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The two nano forsterites (FS) were prepared by advanced sol-gel (FSsg) and precipitation (FSpp) methods. Preparation of colloidal AgNPs systems was realized by using the precursor, AgNO3, and the trisodium citrate and tanic acid assuring the formation and stabilization of AgNPs. The characterization of nano forsterite powders was carried out using complementary physical methods: XRD, SEM, and AFM. The AgNPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectra, STEM and AFM imaging. The antimicrobial activity was studied by the agar well diffusion method both in the FS native state, as FSsg and FSpp, and in their mixture with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The inhibitory effect of synthesized forsterites, FSsg and FSpp, particularly variants with AgNPs was found only on the S. aureus strain, the zones of inhibition being between 8 and 10 mm, and more intensely expressed in the FSpp-AgNPs dispersions. These findings open new orthopedic applications of these systems, particularly for antimicrobial coated metallic implants.
